  • 1.  Comment text within an evolve form in V.25.0

    Posted 10-02-2025 09:04

    Hello Community,

    Ever since we upgraded to Evolve 25.0 I have noticed that when someone submits a form request and we have to reject it the form back; We leave notes in the comments section which look fine.  If you add any type of punctuation within the note section it looks good too.  However, when we receive the form back to process and go back down to the note section there is funky text or more so numbers and # symbols etc.  This will only show up where you have added commas, or any type of punctuation in the comment you sent out with rejection.  Why does it do this?  We did not have this issue in the older version.  See the screenshots below:

    The first screenshot is what I wrote.  The second screenshot is what it looks like when sent and returned.

    Thank you,

    Susan Raatz

    Hi Susan

    It looks to be URL encoding the special characters like the quotes and apostrophes. I believe we have always done this, but I could be wrong.  Has anyone else noticed a change in behavior?

    If you search on support.precisely.com, it will share the characters we recommend using:

    Special Characters in Automate Evolve Comments

    In Automate Evolve, when adding comments, special characters are generally restricted. The allowed characters for report names and comments include:

    • Alphanumeric characters
    • Space
    • Hyphen (-)
    • Underscore (_)
    • Specific accented characters: À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù, à, è, ì, ò, ù, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý, á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û, â, ê, î, ô, û, Ã, Ñ, Õ, ã, ñ, õ, Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, Ÿ, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ, ß, 々, 〆, 〤, ヵ, ヶ, - 龠, ぁ-ゔ, ァ-ヴ, ー

    Best Regards,

    Hi Susa,

    Try setting below workflow configuration key.

    refer documentation :https://help.precisely.com/r/t/1016755429/2025-03-10/Automate-Evolve/pub/Latest/en-US/Automate-Evolve-User-Guide/Workflow-Configuration-Options?tocId=YHI7q5F3pwhepjvzZMGgJQ

    This generally works for Email approved tasks/Approvals, but should be applicable to overall history. Let us know the results.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
